I love young children’s illustrated books (that’s the section you’ll find me at a bookstore); they’re beautiful reminders of the simple, innocent, and loving perception most of us felt forced to leave behind while growing up. They’re creatively fun and they speak to our inner child, prompting us to reclaim a more natural approach to life by restoring our inherent…
My Visit With John of God In Abadiânia
Before I moved to the US, I had an unusual encounter with a medium and psychic surgeon from Argentina through the leader of the Buddhist group I belonged to at the time.

They jump from one thing to another, thinking the grass is greener elsewhere, or they stick to a certain career, relationship, set of habits, or belief system because these somehow landed on their lap and they’re too afraid to question what’s become familiar.

But I also loved literature, philosophy, anthropology, art, and music. So…
